Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 198 Is it time to consider starting a family?
Lu Ruoyu outlined the ridiculous things Xiao Tan had done during this period of time, and Xiao Jianqing frowned as he listened.
"Alas! Although I am not close to him, from what you said, Xiao Tan and his father have the same personality." Xiao Jianqing said with a frown.
"But he's narrow-minded, I'm afraid he won't let it go..."
On the surface, he really couldn't do anything to Song Jinshu and Miss Liu, but who knew what tricks he would use in private?
Xiao Jianqing was very distressed. Even though there was no family affection between them, Xiao Tan was his nominal nephew. He felt very ashamed that Xiao Tan had done such a shameful thing.
"Nothing to be afraid of!" Lu Ruoyu said calmly.
My skills as an embroidered pillow are not enough to regard him as my main enemy.
……
After the September enrollment, it is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Jinshu gave the yamen runners two days off so that they could go home and spend time with their families.
Old Madam Liu and her two aunts started preparing early. This was the first time the whole family had gathered together to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival since they came out.
The Song family has no proper elders, so Song Jinshu and her two sisters naturally have to celebrate the festival with Old Madam Liu.
Old Lady Liu took into consideration that Concubine Xiang and Concubine Qiu were relatively well-behaved and came from the Liu family, so they were close to each other, so she simply let them celebrate the festival with their children.
As for Concubine Hua and her seventh child, Song Yunrong, Old Madam Liu did not isolate them, and the two families merged into one.
Concubine Hua originally relied on Song Jinshu, and would need her help in her old age and to marry off her daughter in the future. Seeing that Song Jinshu respected the Liu family, she could only try to please him.
Now, Aunt Bixiang and Aunt Qiu are saying nice things to make Old Madam Liu happy every day.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Jinshu got up early to help.
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yao have come to help prepare for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Since they are all women who are good at cooking, everyone puts their best effort into making the dishes they are best at.
With maids and old women helping him, Song Jinshu had no place to work, so he simply sat on a reclining chair in the yard and read a storybook.
Song Yunrong, wearing a bright red dress and two pigtails, skipped in front of Song Jinshu.
"Sister, I just heard that the county will be filled with lanterns tonight, and many brothers and sisters will go out to guess riddles and watch shadow puppet shows. Can I go out and play tonight?"
This was told to her by her sister Mingzhu next door. At this time last year, her aunt did not allow her to go out because she was young.
Now that she is one year older, she can go out!
Song Yunrong looked at Song Jinshu expectantly. Auntie should listen to her elder sister. As long as she got her elder sister's consent, she could go out and play!
Hehe! Just thinking about it makes me happy...
Listening to Song Yunrong's words, Song Jinshu seemed to remember something. Last year, she was busy accumulating merit points, fearing that she would die suddenly one day, and had no time to pay attention to these things.
It seems that during the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time, people not only enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes, but unmarried men and women also take advantage of this day to go out and play and guess riddles.
If you find someone you like, it can be considered a good marriage.
"Can I, big sister? I'm six years old. I won't get lost. I'll just walk around the street in front of our house!"
She found out that there were many interesting gadgets on the street outside her door, and the pocket money she had saved for a long time was finally put to good use.
Song Jinshu was woken up by Song Yunrong, and pinched her chubby cheeks unhappily: "Well... okay! But you must be accompanied by an adult before leaving!"
After getting Song Jinshu's approval, Song Yunrong was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
At this time, other people also heard the conversation between the two. Since they were both girls, at the prime age of being unmarried, the girls all had some expectations and longings.
In a few years, they will be of marriageable age.
Now that they are living a good life and have some spare money, they will secretly buy a few books about talented men and beautiful women to read.
I couldn't help but put myself in their shoes, and I had a yearning for love in my heart.
Especially Song Yunyu, now her second sister is married and her third sister is also at the age of engagement.
The aunt loves the third sister the most. The third sister is beautiful and owns a pastry shop, so her future marriage will definitely not be bad.
She is only one year younger than her fifth sister, who is the eldest sister's biological sister. Old Madam Liu and her two aunts are taking care of her marriage.
Even if I flatter her, I can't catch up. I can only find a good husband for myself in advance and cultivate feelings first, so that life after marriage will be better.
Song Yunyu looked at Song Yunrong's happy figure, and she walked towards Song Jinshu with a smile.
"Eldest sister, Seventh sister just said that there will be riddle guessing in the county tonight. I've been reading a lot recently and I want to go out and take a look."
As Song Yunyu spoke, the other girls who were already interested in him also became excited.
"Big sister, I want to go play too!"
"Sister, I have an appointment with Miss Wang. Tonight we have a competition to see who can guess the most riddles!"
Even the sixth oldest, Song Yunjie, who always had little presence, weakly pleaded, "Eldest sister, I want to go play with fourth sister."
Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Song Jinshu smiled helplessly and said, "Go, go! Dress up beautifully and go out to play tonight. If you don't have enough silver, ask the steward to give you five more taels."
She was also curious about what blind dates were like in ancient times...
Old Madam Liu, who was sitting under the eaves watching her granddaughters making mooncakes, never stopped smiling.
"It just so happens that your aunt made new clothes for you a few days ago. They are all ready today. Wear them and go out to play later!"
Wu had just stepped out of the kitchen when she heard this and said with a smile, "Of course not. I was just about to go out and call Yue'er's father, so I brought the clothes over."
The Song sisters laughed in unison and said, "Thank you, old lady (grandmother), thank you, aunt."
With hope in their hearts, everyone worked more enthusiastically.
Gradually, Song Jinshu was the only one left in the yard. Old Madam Liu's eyes moved and she moved to sit beside her.
Feeling that the notebook was obscured by the shadow, Song Jinshu looked at Old Madam Liu in confusion: "Grandma?"
Old Madam Liu looked at Song Jinshu, who had a refined and heroic temperament, and felt a pang of sadness when she thought that Song Jinshu was already twenty-one years old and had missed the best age for marriage.
This child is not like her unlucky daughter, but her personality is exactly like her old man. She is a person who refuses to admit defeat and is ambitious.
But women have to get married eventually. Even if they don't want to marry someone else, they have to marry a son-in-law and have their own children.
She had been thinking about this matter for a long time. After she had prepared a plan in her mind, she took Song Jinshu's hand and said softly, "Shu'er, is everything going well for you in handling your official business in Jingyang County?"
"Ah?" Song Jinshu blinked, her face full of questions, not understanding why her grandmother suddenly asked this.
"It went smoothly! My subordinates are very capable, and I can handle official business with ease."
Old Madam Liu smiled and nodded. She had seen the current situation in Jingyang County.
"As the ancients said, one must first establish a family and then a career, and then a career and then a family. Now that my son Shu'er has become a local official and is doing things in a steady and measured way, isn't it time for him to consider starting a family?"
